Matt Validity is a fragile thing. An unclosed <td> or an unterminated   buried in a CMS database somewhere doesn't mean an entire site is functionally inaccessible. But it does mean that at least one rendering of it is invalid. Getting people to spend their time making it valid instead of increasing its accessibility is not the solution. I would rather focus authors' energies on techniques that directly increase the accessibility of HTML markup than on a binary indicator that does not. Luca Mat I understand your point of view but they could exist assistive technologies or browser (especially in the mobile phone) that they could have many problems whith an invalid code (also only an erroneus character encoding) because our errors management is not much powerful. This would provoke one situation of real inaccessibility. Regards Luca Mascaro IWA/HWG Member W3C HTML and WCAG WG Member
